Draft pool issue?
I sim ahead a year, expand the league by 2 teams then play out every game. The player below was added (along with others) as a part of the draft pool but then was not available in the draft Is this a bug or am I missing something?

He should be available to draft. Not sure why he wouldn't be, everything is set correctly in the db
EDIT: Figured out the problem. You're in 2015, but he doesn't become draft eligible until 2016 |

How do you know/see when when a prospect becomes draft eligible?
BTW-the fact that OOTP is creating players who are not yet draft eligible is awesome! |

As for seeing when they're eligible, honestly, I don't think you can in game. I can because I have our online editor and I entered a lot of those guys in the first place. You could always try to look guys up on the web and see what hs/college class they're actually in and then figure out when they'll be eligible irl. It'll be the same in game. |

You won't see numbers for sure. I also don't think the HS/College designation will change. Will have to bring that up with Markus to see if it's possible for him to make it happen. I'm hoping all this will be much more fully fleshed out in OOTP16, the feature was a late addition this year and it's still a bit rough around the edges.

Here's hoping for official feeder leagues that run in the background.

I think Rodgers is a bit better. Kelly seems a bit overrated compared to rl to be honest so it's closer than I'd have thought. Of course it all depends on what happens once the dev engine gets ahold of them. Anything can happen! |

Looking a bit more at the 2015 and 2016 classes. Looks like we have some more work to do to get them accurately rated f.e. Daz Cameron was no where near being the number one overall HS guy in 2015, which he should be.

As for Cameron, I don't even remember considering him or even looking at him with the #1 over all. |

I know a lot of this years draft class is already in my game and were taken in the inaugural draft before the season started. Lots of guys like Trea Turner, Carlos Rodon, Kyle Schwarber, Jacob Gatewood, Mike Conforto, Jakson Reetz, etc. etc. were already taken in that draft and not in the amateur draft. I think I had a lot of fictional players in the amateur draft as I only have one college and one high school feeder league going in my league/season. I'm thinking it's probably because I have a fictional AAA and AA league that needed to be filled so that's probably why those guys were taken, what do you think Lukas??

It's probably because they're technically listed as free agents in game and the game can't really tell the difference between rule 5 draft eligible fa's and non rule 5 draft eligible fa's until after the draft pool is published. It knows not to include them as signable fa's but apparently doesn't know not to include them in other drafts. I think (though I haven't tested it) that if you were to have the draft pool published before holding your inaugural draft, that the real guys would stay in the amateur draft pool and not get sucked into your inaugural draft. |
